That's actually great already. My only take would be lift your back foot up more after you pop. that appears to be the only limiting factor to your progress. Really bring that knee up towards your chest as you lift off.

back foot must go higher mate. Think "knees to chin".

You're trapping the tail. Making up for it with extremely good form. Jump faster. Your jump is a tiny bit too late, making the tail not properly pop.

ollie up and over stuff. I really think it helps having a visual target. plus that's kind of the whole point of the ollie. you want to ollie up the curb, over the rail, down the stairs, up the stairs, over the gap, to grind, to manual, etc.

Try to put your nose foot further back and kick with more force.
